ELECTRONICS OUTFIT Samsung is releasing ultra-slim 7in LCS screens.
The design, which is a good inch smaller than others on the market, does not need a separate printed circuit board for timing controls and power components. This has limited the design of slim portable electronics.
The new high-resolution display will be used in handsets for digital multimedia broadcasting, portable multimedia, DVD players and satellite navigation systems.
Yun Jin-hyuk, Samsung Electronics Executive VP and chief of the Mobile Display Business Team said that the technology means punters can develop portable electronic devices with higher resolution and wide aspect ratio mobile displays. -
